Branimir Hrgota's two goals ensured Borussia Monchengladbach advanced as Group A winners.

Borussia Monchengladbach booked their place in the knockout stages of the Europa League with a 3-0 win over FC Zurich.

Starting the night as leaders of Group A, all possibilities were open to Lucien Favre's men, and they could have gone through with any result -- other outcomes permitting -- while they were also at risk of going out.

But a comprehensive drubbing, with Patrick Hermann (one) and Branimir Hrgota (two) scoring the goals, made sure they had nothing to worry about.

Yapi-Yapo suffered his injuries in a challenge by his former teammate.

Swiss club FC Zurich have filed a criminal complaint against Aarau midfielder Sandro Wieser for a tackle in a match last month which saw him sent off and left Gilles Yapi-Yapo with a career-threatening knee injury.
